It is binding, this is not a information seeking exercise,the govt have clearly stated the people will decide in this referendum whether the UK remains in the EU or leaves.
The govt have handed the whole responsibility of the decision to stay or leave to the voters only.
It is no longer a decision then for govt, if we vote to stay we stay and if the vote is to leave we leave.
They have put no conditions on it even as to turnout,or majority or how many UK Nations vote for or against staying.
This is a fully binding referendum on the govt,no matter how close or how wide the result either way.
